4. WHAT ARE COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES?
Cookies are small electronic collections of information stored on a local device and used by websites to recognize visitors, track sessions, and associate one interaction with later visits, as well as other methods of uniquely identifying users for various purposes.
We use a number of different cookies on the SCALIBIT website, including necessary, functional, performance, and targeting cookies. Cookies improve your browsing experience by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login status and region selection). This means you do not need to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or navigate between pages.
Cookies also provide information on how users interact with the website, for example whether it is their first visit or if they are a returning visitor. This information helps us improve usability, performance, and overall user experience.
Some cookies are classified as "strictly required cookies" and are necessary for the proper operation of the SCALIBIT website. Cookies may also be used to provide existing customers with continued convenience and service optimization, as described below:
-
Session Cookies: Expire at the end of your browser session and allow us to link your actions during that specific session.
-
Persistent Cookies: Stored on your device between browser sessions to remember your preferences or actions across multiple visits.
-
First-Party Cookies: Set directly by the website you are visiting to preserve your settings and preferences.
-
Third-Party Cookies: Placed by a domain other than the website you are visiting, for example when external services set cookies through our site.
Similar technologies include mechanisms that store information in your browser or device using local shared objects or local storage (such as Flash cookies, HTML5 storage, and other web application storage techniques). These technologies may operate across different browsers and, in some cases, cannot be fully managed through standard browser settings and require configuration through your device or installed applications.
SCALIBIT does not use such technologies to store information for the purpose of targeting advertising to you on or off our websites.
